1 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Easter is coming, 2 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: and I don't know about you, but I love those little, 3 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: hard shelled chocolate Easter eggs. I only buy the little 4 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: bags because I am afraid if I buy the big bag, 5 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I will eat too many. Have you ever done that? 6 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: In this story, Bernice comes home and when Papa Bear 7 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: asks her if she wants a cookie, she says no. 8 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: What could be wrong with Bernice? Bernice ate too many 9 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: chocolate Easter eggs. Hey, Papa, I'm home, Bernice said, as 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: she came in the front door of their house. What 11 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: did you do to the front door, Papa? It's yellow? 12 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: I almost thought I was at the wrong house, Bernie said, 13 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: with a laugh. Put your stuff away, little bear, and 14 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: come into the kitchen and I will tell you all 15 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: about it, Papa Bear said. Bernice took off her shoes, 16 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: put her coat away, and ran into the kitchen. Did 17 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you have a good day, little bear, Papa Bear asked, 18 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: I it was a bit of a mixed bag, Bernie said, 19 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: as she washed her hands in the sink. I haven't 20 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: heard you describe your day that way before, Papa Bear said, 21 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Is everything okay? Yeah, everything is okay. I guess are 22 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: those Easter egg cookies? Papa? They smell super yummy and 23 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: look super beautiful, but I'm not sure I can eat 24 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: any of them, Papa Bernie said, with a frown. Really, 25 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: little Bear, I made them just for you and Mama Bear. 26 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Would you like a glass of milk? I'll get you 27 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: a glass of water too. You do look a little 28 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: out of sorts, Thank you, Papa. Milk would be great. 29 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: After putting some milk and water on the table, Papa 30 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: Bear put his hand on Bernice's forehead and continued, you 31 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: don't appear to have a fever, so why don't you 32 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: tell me about your day while you drink your milk. 33 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: Looking concerned, Bernice said, you can have some cookies, Papa. 34 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't mind. Just because I'm not having any doesn't 35 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: mean you can't. Cookies are something I share with you, 36 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: Little Bear. I can wait to have cookies later when 37 00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: you are ready. Okay, well it was a really good day, Papa. 38 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: Science class was fun. We learned how to design and 39 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: conduct experiments. Bobby said he was going to put a 40 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: Mento's candy in a bottle of soda as an experiment, 41 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: but the teacher wouldn't let him. In math class we 42 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: solved some hard problems together, and in English we started 43 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: a new book. The story in the book is pretty 44 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: cool too. It's about a young boy who makes friends 45 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: with a new girl in town and they create an 46 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: imaginary kingdom called Terabithia. But Papa, we couldn't go on 47 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: an Easter egg hunt this year because the teacher said 48 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: there was too much snow. How did that make you feel? Well? 49 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed. Last year I found all 50 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: kinds of chocolate eggs and ate them. It was super fun. 51 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: But the snow this year just won't go away. Silly snow. 52 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: I remember when you ate those eggs, you looked a 53 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: bit like you do right now. Yeah. Well, we painted 54 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: eggs again in art class, and Bobby made a dinosaur 55 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: laying an Easter egg. It was super funny, Papa, because 56 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: everyone said that word we aren't allowed to say. Papa 57 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: Bear sighed, Ah, what word is that? Poop? Papa, Bernice said, giggling. 58 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: Everyone thought that Bobby's dinosaur egg looked like multi colored poop. 59 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: I think he did it on purpose. Everyone in class 60 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: laughed really loud until the teacher got upset, and then 61 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: we had to stop that Bobby. Then, when lunch came, 62 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: Bobby shared a few of his mini chocolate eggs with Gertrude, 63 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: and Bernice said with a guilty look, how many eggs 64 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: is a few? Little Bear? I'm not sure, but I 65 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: think we ate the whole bag, so maybe that's a lot. 66 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: At first, Papa, we had so much energy, and Bobby 67 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: was really loud, which made the teacher upset. Again. I 68 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: don't think he is allowed to take candy to school anymore. Bernice, 69 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: you know you are supposed to behave in class, right, Yeah? 70 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: I know, And I wasn't misbehaving, Papa, though I did 71 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: laugh when Bobby was acting crazy. But then, Papa, we 72 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: started to feel tired and sick to our stomach. The 73 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: teacher said that after eating too much sugar, we might 74 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: have a stomach ache or something called nausea. I mostly 75 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 1: just felt tired, Oh, little Bear, when your body tries 76 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: to digest an excessive amount of sugar, you might feel 77 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: tired and lethargic. How do you feel now, Papa, Bear asked, 78 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm better, Papa, but I feel like I made a mistake. 79 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: It's just that the chocolate eggs tasted so good. I 80 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: couldn't stop eating them, and before I knew it, Bobby, 81 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Gertrude and I finished the whole bag. It was sort 82 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: of like a competition to see who could have the most. 83 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: We all make mistakes, Little Bear. I hope you will 84 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: learn from this and try not to eat so many 85 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: chocolates in the future. Cookies and chocolates are treats. Treats 86 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: taste better when we don't eat them too often. I'll 87 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: put the cookies away for now, and maybe if Mama 88 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: Bear says it's okay, we can have one after dinner. Okay, Papa, 89 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: but you didn't tell me why are door is yellow? 90 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it was yellow this morning, was it? Oh? Yeah, 91 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I forgot that. I was going to tell you all 92 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: about that. Mama Bear and I wanted to get a 93 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: better front door because the old one was starting to 94 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: not work as well, so we gave the old one 95 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: to a friend and we had a new one installed today. 96 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: Mama Bear and I couldn't decide on a color, so 97 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: since it's almost easter, I thought we would pick yellow. 98 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: And yellow is the color of springtime, right, that's what 99 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: my art teacher says. That sounds correct, Little Bear. I 100 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: also think it's a fun color too. Why don't you 101 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: finish your glass of water and do some reading while 102 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I cook our dinner. Okay, Papa, it's that time, Papa 103 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: said Bernice. And what time is that, little Bear replied her, Papa, 104 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: the time you read me a story. Are you sure 105 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: you want me to read you a story? Little Bear? 106 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: You seemed pretty sleepy after dinner, Papa Bear asked, Of course, Papa, 107 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: I could stay awake all night if you kept telling 108 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: me stories. I think I would fall asleep before all 109 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: night came along. Papa Bear said, with a smile. What 110 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: kind of story would you like me to tell you 111 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: this time? Hmmm? I like the stories with Booboo. I 112 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: think Booboo and Kai Kai are a lot like Bobby 113 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: and me. And the stories about the unicorn are pretty good. 114 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: And I like the stories about the magical book, Bertie 115 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: said with a yawn. Maybe a short silly story about 116 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: another character in the mystical forest, maybe a fairy. Did 117 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: you do all the things you need to do before bed? 118 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: I think so. I gave Mama a great big hug 119 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: and kiss, I had a soapy bath, and I even 120 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: did a good job cleaning behind my ears. I put 121 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: on my comfy pajamas, brushed my teeth, and even did 122 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: some stretches and deep breathing exercises. You're growing up, little bear, Yeah, 123 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: I think so. Will you and Mama miss me when 124 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: I am gone? Where do you plan on going? I'm 125 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: not sure yet, Papa. But when I grow up even 126 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: more and become a famous scientist, I might have to 127 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: live in my own house because I would have too 128 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: many books for our house. That's a good point, little bear. 129 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: Maybe we could add another room to our house just 130 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: for your books. Then you don't have to leave. Hmm. 131 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I'll have to think about it, Papa. It's a big decision, 132 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be hasty. Okay, little Bear, 133 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: Are you comfy and ready for a story? I am. 134 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: How about Twigger, Wolfy and Madaline? Are they ready for 135 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: a story? They say they are ready, and I think 136 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: they are looking forward to it too. Okay, give me 137 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: a hug and a kiss, and I'll tell you a 138 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: short story. Thank you, Papa. Once upon a time, in 139 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: a world full of magic and fun, there lived a 140 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: young little fairy named Lila. She grew up in the 141 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: middle of a mystical forest. In this forest were unicorns, 142 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: other fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects, birds and animals. 143 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: It was a wonderful place. The kingdom they lived in 144 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: was full of people who lived in the meadows, those 145 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: who lived in the hills, and those who lived in 146 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: the forest, and they all lived in harmony. In the kingdom, 147 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: there was a small forest village famous for making sweet treats, 148 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: and it was here where the fairy named Lila lived. 149 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: Most fairies didn't eat much in the way of sweets, 150 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: preferring to eat what the mystical forest provided for them, 151 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: But Lila was different. She had a sweet tooth and 152 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: loved all kinds of treats, especially chocolate. She would fly 153 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: around the kingdom visiting candy shops and bakeries and sampling 154 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: all the delicious desserts. She was well known by the 155 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: kids of the kingdom as she was always eating dragon 156 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: candy with them after they finished school. One day, Lila 157 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: found a magical chocolate tree deep in the forest. The 158 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: tree was filled with the most delicious chocolates she had 159 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: ever tasted. The more she ate, the more she wanted. 160 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: Lila couldn't resist and started eating all the chocolates from 161 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: the tree. There were many different kinds of magic in 162 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: the Mystical Kingdom, and many plants, trees, and flowers did 163 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: possess magical abilities. This magic was often present to teach 164 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: those in the kingdom a valuable lesson. Lila always ate 165 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: a lot of sweets, but never quite this much. The 166 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: chocolate from the tree was simply irresistible, and Lila could 167 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: not help herself. As the night went on, Lilah started 168 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: to feel very, very strange. Her wings felt heavy, and 169 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: her stomach was feeling very poor. She realized that she 170 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: had eaten too much chocolate and made herself sick. Lila 171 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: knew that she had to find a way to get better, 172 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: but she was too weak to fly back to her home. Suddenly, 173 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: a group of forest animals appeared, led by a wise 174 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: old owl. The owl told Lila that she had to 175 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: drink the magical nectar of a rare flower to cure herself. 176 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: The flower was in a cave deep in the forest, 177 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: and only the bravest and strongest animals could reach it. 178 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: Lila felt grateful for the help and slowly set out 179 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: with the animals to find the flower. They had to 180 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: overcome many obstacles, including a deep river filled with gold 181 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: colored fish, and a forest filled with flowers that had 182 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: all the colors their eyes could see. But finally, after 183 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: climbing down into the very deep cave, they reached the flower. 184 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: Lila drank the nectar and felt instantly better. From that 185 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: day on, Lila learned a valuable lesson about eating too 186 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: much chocolate. She realized that although chocolate was delicious, she 187 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: needed to eat it in moderation. Sweets were treats and 188 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: were not meant to replace the food that the other 189 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: fairies ate. Lila promised herself that she would never eat 190 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: that much chocolate again. Instead, she would share her chocolates 191 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: with her fairy friends and the animals of the forest. 192 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: The forest animals and Lila became great friends. Often gathered 193 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: around the magical chocolate tree to share sweets and stories. 194 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: Lila had learned a valuable lesson about over indulgence and 195 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: how animals and fairies can come together to help when 196 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: one of them is in need. And with that, Papa 197 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: Bear kissed Bernice on the forehead, adjusted her blanket, turned 198 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: off her lamp, and quietly whispered, I love you, little bear. 199 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: Good night. And that is the end of our story, 200 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: good Night, sleep tight.
